On a recent Ben Settle Antipreneur Show podcast I tossed a term out there into the airwaves (cyber waves?):
“Email Infidelity”
Here’s what it means:
It’s when someone on your email list is too much of a loser to write their own emails, so they copy something you write word-for-word (or change juuuuuuuuuust enough where they think they can get away with it).
They are, in effect, cheating.
Not just on you.
But, on their list.
On themselves.
Yes, even on their market.
And like real infidelity, it may “feel good” for the moment you do the wicked filthy deed… but the consequences can be severe and life altering.
(Not in a good way.)
How?
Lots of reasons.
For one, if you do this sort of thing, you are just making yourself less effective. Less skilled. And, yes, less of a dude. That’s what happens when you cut corners, son.
Secondly:
You can get in legal trouble.
True story:
About a year ago some jackass who brags about how he makes 7-figures per year ripped one of my emails off word-for-word. When I showed it to my intellectual property attorney she said it was basically an open-and-shut case if I wanted to nail him and go after him for some fat stacks in damages.
And third:
Your own list will never trust you.
Nobody trusts an cheater, after all.
And, it’s no different with emails — in fact, in the example above, the cheater’s own list ratted him out.
Not a whole lot of loyalty going on for them cheaters…
Anyway, bottom line?
Don’t do the email infidelity thang.
The 5-second “reward” is not worth the potential lifetime hell of consequences to you as an entrepreneur, as a marketer and, yes, as a dude.
Moving on…
